SECOND ANNUAL STAR FLEET BATTLES PLATINUM HAT ONLINE TOURNAMENT
Our second Internet SFB International Championship Tournament will open for registration on June 11th on ADB's storefront and registration of SFBOL will soon follow. Registration will close midnight at the end of July 1st and play will begin July 6th. This is a single-elimination tournament using a standard tree. This tournament will be conducted through SFBOL and you will need to be a member of that service to participate. Peter Bakija, who won last year's event, will be the chief judge.
We will have at least 32 seats, and up to 64 if there is demand. The entry fee ($10 per person) will be added to the prize fund which ADB, Inc., has always provided, and distributed down to the top eight players (16 if we have 64 seats). The winner must send in his Platinum Victory article (which must meet the standards of previous articles) within 90 days of the end of the event or be disqualified (in which case he will get no prize and there will be no winner named).
We want to encourage the greatest number of people to play, so anyone who qualifies as a "deuce" can enter without paying an entry fee. (If we have more people than seats, the last "deuces" to sign up will be matched against each other to gain the final seats, effectively adding a round and giving everyone else a bye.) To qualify as a "deuce" you must have not won an ace card in the last three years (that includes people who have never won one). Even if you qualify as a deuce, you can pay the entry fee and be treated as an ace (even if you
